Translations of Quran 10:39
EnglishTalal Itani

In fact, they deny what is beyond the limits of their knowledge, and whose explanation has not yet reached them. Thus those before them refused to believe. So note the consequences for the wrongdoers.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Nay, but they denied that, the knowledge whereof they could not compass, and whereof the interpretation (in events) hath not yet come unto them. Even so did those before them deny. Then see what was the consequence for the wrong-doers!

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Hayır onlar, ılmini ihata etmedikleri ve te'vili kendilerine hiç gelmemiş olan bir şey'i tekzib ettiler, bunlardan evvel geçenler de böyle tekzib etmişlerdi amma bak zâlimlerin akıbeti nasıl oldu?

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Mais ils accusent de mensonge ce qu’ils sont incapables d’embrasser avec leur science, bien qu’on leur en ait donné l’explication. Ainsi ont agi, avant eux, ceux qui traitaient d’imposteurs d’autres que toi. Regarde quelle a été la fin des impies.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Maar zij hebben, datgene van valscheid beschuldigd, waarvan zij geen begrip hebben; hoewel de verklaring daarvan tot hen gekomen zij. Evenzoo deden zij, die vóór hen bestonden en hunne profeten van bedrog beschuldigden: maar onthoudt wat het einde der onrechtvaardigen was!

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Ma accusano di menzogna ciò che sono incapaci di penetrare colla loro scienza, benchè sia stata loro data la spiegazione. Così hanno agito, prima di loro, quei che trattavano da impostori altri che te. Mira qual’è stata la fine degli empj.
